Repeat Crafter Me shares a fantastic free teddy bear crochet pattern that is specially designed to show off the beauty of variegated yarn. This beginner-friendly project uses Red Heart Bitty Stripes yarn, and you can amazingly make two complete bears out of just one single skein. The best part about using self-striping yarn is that it does all the complicated colorwork for you. You get a bright, playful toy without having to switch yarn colors or weave in a million messy ends.
The finished plushie measures roughly 10 inches tall by 8 inches wide – it’s a perfect gift for kids. To keep the assembly quick and simple, the head and body are worked together in one continuous piece. Each section picks up the shifting colors a little differently, giving your finished bear a totally unique look. This satisfying DIY project uses classic amigurumi shaping and requires minimal sewing.
